The viral video, widely shared on social media, captured air-defense missiles launching into the night sky as air raid sirens echoed across Kuwait. Some observers and defense analysts questioned whether one interceptor suffered a guidance or propulsion failure after appearing to deviate from its expected flight path. However, no official investigation has confirmed any malfunction.The incident occurred amid Iran’s latest missile and drone attacks targeting U.S.-linked military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain.
